High-efficient geo-resources and geo-energy extraction and exploitation (GRGEEE) confront unprecedented challenges and opportunities. On one hand, the soaring need for geo-resources and geo-energy from the energy market drives the industry to enhance the productivity. On the other hand, in order to mitigate the adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net zero emissions, the environmental-friendly technologies and development strategies are essential to attain sustainable GRGEEE and energy transition. The emerging cutting-edge technologies and approaches, such as energy storage, mining methods, and artificial intelligence, enable tackling these issues in this field.
This Research Topic aims to serve as a rapid and attractive chapter for addressing the latest advances in GRGEEE, which facilitates a better understanding of (1) multi-physics coupling processes and multiple mechanisms during the GRGEEE; (2) the efficient mining of geo-energy and geo-resources; (3) predicting the dynamic evolution of underground integrity by numerical simulation; and (4) promoting the decarbonization across energy industries through novel sustainable development strategies.
Potential themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Advanced theories and technologies in geo-resources extraction and exploitation
• Novel numerical simulation for geo-energy (e.g., coal, petroleum, natural gas, and geothermal energy) exploitation and extraction
• CO2 sequestration onshore and offshore
• Fundamentals and technologies in multiple resources/energies co-mining
• Health, safety, environment, and sustainability in GRGEEE
• Thermal–hydraulic–mechanical–chemical coupling aspects in GRGEEE
• Applications of machine learning and data science in GRGEEE
• Development of novel instruments and test approaches related to GRGEEE
